ONM BOOKINGS

Special book-related events are scheduled in June and July at the Osage Nation Museum, 819 Grandview Ave.

A panel discussion of “Celebrating the Life of John Joseph Mathews, Osage Writer” is planned for Wednesday, June 21, from 5-7 p.m. with local Mathews-authority Harvey Payne and Dr. Garrick Bailey, an Osage expert from the University of Tulsa.

Written by 44-year-old Oklahoma City professor Michael Snyder, the book was released last week by the University of Oklahoma Press. Snyder, who earned a doctorate from OU, is to be on hand to join in the discussions.

Also participating will be Russ Tall Chief, who wrote the book’s forward. Tall Chief, a great-nephew of famed ballerinas Maria and Marjorie Tallchief, is, himself, a traditional Osage dancer.
